Hello,

My first-ever attempt to install this mod has resulted in the following error:

ERROR: error loading [aurora/bamsoa/?av.2da]
Stopping installation because of error.
Stopping installation because of error.
Stopping installation because of error.

ERROR Installing [Aurora's Shoes and Boots], rolling back to previous state
Will uninstall 229 files for [setup-aurora.tp2] component 0.
Uninstalled    229 files for [setup-aurora.tp2] component 0.
ERROR: Unix.Unix_error(12, "stat", "aurora/bamsoa/\181av.2da")

Please see attached. I hope there's a way to fix it, even if that means I'll have to reinstall everything again.

Thanks,
Eric

Aurora contains a patch to the executable and is probably unusable on the Mac. The error you get is actually unrelated to this; there is some automatic translation of characters with the eighth bit set to make the graphic the same as on Windows. The first character of the file name correctly displays as the greek character mu but it uses two chars (hex C2 A5), so WeiDU can't find the file (it's looking for hex B5). Here is a script to translate it back if you want to try:

ls your-aurora-folder/aurora/bamsoa | sed 's/.\(.*\)/mv -f "&" "'$'\xb5''\1"/' | sh

Copy it into a terminal window. If it worked the files in .../aurora/bamsoa should have a %B5 in front of them. It's been a while since I did this, but IIRC there was some other error that stopped Aurora from loading and I didn't persue it further.

Well, if it won't install, then that's the end of that. Sure will be nice if the mod is ever Macified

Thanks,

It was coded to work in theory for OS X, the same way it should for SoA without ToB: it skips the .exe patch that enables new slots and (suboptimally but necessary) uses existing slots instead (typically unused unless you have a major megamod install, which is fairly impossible on SoA, probably for OS X too). So I think it is the character issue, which I am planning on revising for IA and Aurora based on some revisions from Erephine. But it will be helpful if you Mac users can do further troubleshooting, as I've never heard from anyone who's even tried to install it. Namely, if you use that script or manual means to do renaming for characters that don't work with Mac WeiDU, whether it works, or if not, what the "some other error" message is.

Edit: I should add perhaps that, not for nothing, we have .sh scripts that should work (again, in theory) for OS X and Linux, as well as OS checks in the .tp2. So unlike IA, this mod tries to be cross-OS compatible (IA would too, if it could).
